Yes, it’s still Monday (10.30am), but my computer magically turned itself on. I was vacuuming the piano stool which gets covered in cat fur, and decided to gently vacuum the laptop keyboard as the fur transfers there. Well, I unclasped the lock, and the computer turned itself on. As I was having a coffee on the go I decided to sit down and report this phenomenon.

That reminds me of my house in SL. I’m sure that’s haunted. When I first got it I kept landing in the water beneath the house, and then when I tried to position furniture it would bump back to where it started. I love my house. Here is a photo of it. Everything in it is made by my (Titiana’s) fair hands.

Oh I love Monday mornings. Always have. Even when I was working. There again I loved teaching until the last couple of years.

Anyway, I didn’t wake up until 8 this morning, and I’ve just had my muesli while looking at photos on Flickr. (All T189 related) It’s 8.45 now, and I really must turn off the pooter.

Plans this week -

• Housework today
• 15 minutes gardening every day
• 15 minutes exercise evey day
• Finish TMA (tutor marked assignment) by Friday
• Birding
• Creative Writing
• Might go to Church meeting on Thursday evening

Gardening is getting imperative, and I hope to do much more than 15 minutes a day. The nettles are back with a vengeance, and thistles are attacking now.

I’ve decided there are some things I CAN and WILL do.  They are keeping the grass short, strimming, half-mooning the edges, keeping the paths weedfree and having no stray rubbish (plastic pots etc) floating around.

This is working at the moment, but I really want to plant up containers this week and have another go and sowing some seeds, as the last lot all died on me through lack of watering. All except the green beans, which are long and straggly and something’s been eating the leaves (not slugs - too high up)  so I might redo them too.

Oh and John wants the photo on his website updated, so I’ll do another piccie of him. This week’s assignment for T189 is take two photos of something/someone we love, so this kill two birds with one stone.

Now, Aileen, stop prevaricating. The house awaits your loving attention.
